Mark Olesen c2a0663cc7 TUT: use general 'scale' instead of 'convertToMeters' in blockMeshDict
- although this has been supported for many years, the tutorials
  continued to use "convertToMeters" entry, which is specific to blockMesh.
  The "scale" is more consistent with other dictionaries.

ENH:
- ignore "scale 0;" (treat as no scaling) for blockMeshDict,
  consistent with use elsewhere.

OpenFOAM Configuration

The main OpenFOAM settings are located in the parent etc/ directory. The bash and csh shells are supported and to configure OpenFOAM source etc/bashrc or etc/cshrc respectively which source the following files in the config.sh or config.csh respectively:

  • settings: core settings
  • aliases: aliases for interactive shells
  • unset: sourced to clear as many OpenFOAM environment settings as possible
  • mpi: MPI communications library settings
  • ensight: application settings for EnSight
  • paraview: application settings for ParaView
  • scotch: application settings for compiling against scotch
  • metis: application settings for compiling against metis 5

The config.*/example directories contains various example configuration files for the corresponding shell:

  • compiler: an example of fine tuning ThirdParty compiler settings
  • openmpi: an example of fine tuning openmpi settings for OpenFOAM
  • paraview: an example of chaining to the standard config/paraview with a different ParaView_VERSION
  • prefs: an example of supplying alternative site-defined settings
